Artists Performance

Temper jeevi reviewNTR: NTR gives a performance of lifetime. He plays a character that transforms from a bad guy to a responsible man. And there are several phases in it and he has shown slight variations each phase perfectly. Loved his arrogance when he meets Prakash Raj for the first time. His performance in police station fight, court scenes, beach episodes and climax (all scenes in latter part of second half) is extraordinary. His dances movements for Temper title song are his best till date. NTR’s conviction for a 6-pack look which appears for few seconds in a song stands as testament for his hard work.

Temper jeevi reviewStory - screenplay - direction: Vakkantham Vamsi has given a powerful story that has the unique element of hero transforming from a bad guy to good guy. The writer has chosen Posani Krishna Murali character as Manasakshi of NTR. The play between these two characters is written well. Puri Jagan’s work in this film is strengthened because the story is given by an outsider. Puri Jagan has written excellent characterization for NTR. NTR is the villain and NTR is the hero in this film. Puri Jagan has shown the redemption of hero character in an emphatic style. The way redeemed NTR corrected his wrongdoings is very powerfully mounted. The climax point of the film is brave and would have failed if there is no emotion in movie. But the climax is effectively handled. There are certain illogical scenes (like why didn’t hero made multiple copies of CD etc). But the intensity and instant gratification in second half makes sure that logics are overlooked. Puri Jagan strikes back after a gap with an emphatic film.

Temper jeevi review Other departments: Cinematography by Sam K Naidu is good. I personally liked Devuda and Ittage Rechipodam songs on audio. On screen, Temper and Devuda songs are highly entertaining because of right placement. NTR’s superb steps are added attraction for Temper title song. Background score by veteran Mani Sharma is compelling. Puri Jagan’s dialogues are a great asset. He has penned powerful and honest dialogues in addition to his trademark hero characterization dialogues. Editing by SR Sekhar is good. Art direction by BrahmaKadali is neat. Action choreography by Vijay is striking.

Temper jeevi reviewAnalysis: Temper is a film about bad guy reforming himself. The episodes of bad guy are entertaining and episodes of good guy are intense. NTR plays the unique role of villain/hero in this film. Puri Jagan has brilliantly used supremely talented NTR to deliver a powerful film in the form of Temper. In spite of some illogical scenes and inconsistencies, Temper is one of the best movies of Puri Jagan and has the best work of NTR. On the trade front, Temper will be a huge hit with serious chances of breaking records. Go and watch it!
